I'm guessing that the number of English language books on the aging Japanese population is low. Apart from Amazon as above you might want to try Google Scholar which is good for finding academic papers if you don't have a university to gain access through. Google scholar has a knack for finding papers which normally require payment to view but are placed in folders which have permissions set to anybody.

Meh. Best I find is this but the full study, translated from the Chinese, is hard to come by. If you had a specific author in mind, it might be easier to track down.
EDIT: Also, that's a Chinese study from the 80s. So...

Also, the papers and articles that Google Scholar doesn't find links to pdfs, I can typically find on Library Genesis (https://libgen.rs). Libgen is exceptionally good when it comes to finding non-fiction books, at least in the fields I'm interested in.
Having said that, I don't use libgen to find articles and books per say, but to get pdfs of them once I've discovered them elsewhere.

Literally every single textbook I've wanted to find since I've discovered Library Genesis, I've found. Except one and it was published in the past year and I assume will be up soon enough. I wish I had learned about it sooner.

I like reading about cultural phenomenon that differs from my own. I also like reading about state enforced death and a movie about this came out at Sudance called Plan 74

No. But they have a rapidly aging populace who are under replacement levels of births, and they have Japanese politicians asking the elderly to die rather than take up healthcare resources.
Also a movie by a Japanese women just came out at Sundance called Plan 75. It's a fictional tale of the Japanese government paying old people to be exterminated rather than become burdens

It is a free website.
Library Genesis (Libgen) is a file-sharing based shadow library website for scholarly journal articles, academic and general-interest books, images, comics, audiobooks, and magazines. The site enables free access to content that is otherwise paywalled or not digitized elsewhere.[2]
Libgen provides access to copyrighted works, such as PDFs of content from Elsevier's ScienceDirect web-portal. Publishers like Elsevier have accused Library Genesis of internet piracy. However, others assert that academic publishers unfairly benefit from government-funded research, written by researchers, many of whom are employed by public universities, and that Libgen is helping to disseminate research that should be freely available in the first place.[4]

If you do happen to want scientific journal articles, then SciHub is kind of like a PirateBay for academic publishing. You may have to google around a little bit for it should you need it later, as it keeps getting shut down and moving often.
